199. Chapter one hundred and ninety-eight(1/2)
Jia Cong sent the imperial doctor to the Gao Mansion, because they would stay here until the Spring Festival and after giving birth, the Gao family simply packed up a small courtyard near Gaomang's courtyard and settled in. After reading at midnight, Gao Li took Jia Cong to the military camp to play.
Different from last time, Jia Cong now has his own army. He has changed from watching the excitement to guarding the door. He kept asking Gao Li for advice along the way. Gao Li knew after listening to his questions that this guy must be there in the south.
After losing his men, he couldn't help but sigh: "You young people are about to rule the world."
Jia Cong didn't hide it, he just said with envy: "No matter how clever you are, it's useless. All old soldiers have to rely on fighting to practice. Now there are no wars, so it's hard to gain bloody experience. Besides, there are too few people to train soldiers on weekdays."
Don’t dare to push too hard, for fear of damage.”
Gao Li said: "Nonsense! How can we not train fiercely when there are many others? What's the use of not being fierce? Aren't you still fighting some small country in the south? Even if you don't give military pay, you can help the prince of Nan'an for a while, just
It’s time for military training.”
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Now we can tell people what happened. Huo Sheng did not dare to return to the capital for fear of chaos in the court, so he just stayed in the south. The war has been over long ago."
Gao Li said "Oh": "What do I mean, even though he is young, those people under his grandfather are not vegetarians. How can they not win after fighting for so long?" He added, "If you want to train troops, you don't have to wait.
Wait for others to hit you. You can also hit others."
Jia Cong's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and said: "Yes! Why didn't I think of that! Japan is not far from our place. Japanese pirates have become a problem since the Ming Dynasty, and there are still quite a few now. Fight them!"
Gao Li said: "How many people are there among you?"
Jia Cong said: "The total of these places is about five thousand, and they are all new recruits."
Gao Li frowned: "That's just such an idea."
Jia Cong sighed: "There are only two million people on the island, which is only three capital cities. Nowadays, it takes manpower to open up wasteland and build roads, and we don't have many generals. Besides, raising troops is too expensive." Armor again.
There are swords, guns, bows, crossbows, and Western fires and guns, and the soldiers' pay is more than that of the Royal Guards.
Gao Li said: "Since there are few people, they need to be more sophisticated. Without fighting, you cannot train a strong soldier. There are many pirates in the small country in the south, so you can go and fight. If you capture the pirate's nest, there will be a lot of loot. It's a pity.
I don’t have a navy here, otherwise I’ll fight with you.”
Jia Cong said "Oh!" "Why did I forget!"
"Forgot something?"
Jia Cong said happily: "Although I don't have any troops, Huo Sheng does!"
Gao Li said: "Huo Sheng's people are not yours, do you want to swallow them?"
Jia Cong shook his head: "No. I've been thinking that Japanese pirates are a big problem and the coastline is extremely long. It's too difficult to prevent them. It's best to treat the symptoms. It's better to just defeat the Japanese country and let the Japanese pirates on the sea become a tree without roots and no one."
"The source of water, this can cure the root cause. I have too few people, so I can only fight guerrilla warfare. There are so many naval forces in Lingnan, go and fight! It will benefit the country and the people, and it will be a good thing for the country and the country." It can also help future generations.
The descendants destroyed a big enemy.
Gao Li said: "He may not be willing to go."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "He is willing. He may not be willing in the past, but now he is definitely willing. Let him snatch it, and everything he grabs belongs to him. Yes, yes! Why didn't I think of it earlier!"
Since ancient times, war has been the best way to gain wealth. This is an extremely barbaric way to obtain wealth. To put it bluntly, it is large-scale robbery by the regular army and a civilized natural enemy. No words can be used to describe its evil. But this is a senseless way.
An avoidable way of accumulating wealth. Peaceful compatibility between civilizations requires equal strength. Later generations generally think that Europeans are quite civilized, and European people have undisguised pride and yearning for the Crusades. Robbers robbing their own country are
Committing crimes and robbing other countries with troops is called showing off one's prestige. In this era where there is no peace at all between countries, launching an external show of prestige is an excellent way to avoid domestic conflicts among princes.
Jia Cong clenched his fists: "I hope Situ Pan will listen to me."
"Um?"
Jia Cong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Nothing, I came up with an idea that is extremely beneficial to the country and the people. If my nephew's eloquence never deteriorates, there will be no problem in passing it down through the ages."
Gao Li looked at him and said, "Your aunt has said before that you will be famous throughout the ages."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "I'm borrowing my aunt's good words." The two men looked at each other, tacitly understanding each other, and headed off.
They stayed in the military camp all day and returned home to have dinner in the evening. Gao Hua suddenly pulled Jia Cong and said, "Cong'er, brother, I have a favor for you." Jia Cong smiled and asked what the matter was.
It turned out that Gao Hua had a concubine who was also pregnant, and the fetus was not stable, so he wanted to ask the imperial doctor to help.
Jia Cong let out an "ouch", remembering that before he came, Jia Huan told him to ask the imperial doctor to check the health of all the female family members of the Gaofu family, and to win over his sister-in-law for Yingchun. Jia Cong agreed at the time, but now he has long forgotten to go to the Arctic Ocean.
He went. Then he thought about it for a while and said: "Second cousin, don't blame me for thinking too much. I am a concubine. There are many women in my father's backyard. I also experienced many things when I was young. This time, I asked the imperial doctor for my sister.
Come here, there are still seven months left in the tenth month of pregnancy, plus confinement, so they have been staying in Gaofu for such a long time, so I originally intended to ask them to check the pulse and regulate the body and bones of all the female family members of Gaofu."
At first Gao Hua heard him say "no wonder" and thought he didn't agree. Later, when he heard that he seemed to have this intention, he was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, Jia Cong bowed his hand to him: "My cousin just said this, please give me a second cousin."
Come and tell my sister."
Gao Hua was stunned: "Why bother?"
Jia Cong said: "She is your eldest wife, and it is her responsibility for my sister-in-law to have an unstable pregnancy. Naturally, she should take care of this matter. She can still get a reputation as a virtuous person. Isn't it all right? If I agree to you directly,
My sister-in-law and my sister have nothing to do with each other, but my second cousin-in-law often interacts with my sister. I'm afraid she won't be happy."
Gao Hua smiled and waved his hands and said: "Where are you thinking! Your second cousin-in-law is extremely virtuous, and she will definitely not complain about your sister for this."
Jia Cong thought to himself, I am not afraid of her complaining, I am afraid that she will vent her anger and retaliate against my sister! He just smiled and said: "Since the second cousin is a virtuous person, how can she refuse when the second cousin asks her to come forward? Brother, don't blame me, I just want to
Such a dear sister does not dare to take the slightest risk."
Seeing that he was determined, Gao Hua had to say: "That's all, I'll go back and talk to her. Cong'er, I see that you are living a good life and your father loves you. Why are you so worried? Could it be that your wife..."
Jia Cong said: "My eldest wife is good. She never tried to deal with me. Later, when I gained my father's favor, she treated me better. That was because she had nothing to do and my mother left early.
If she had a son, or if Brother Lian's biological mother was still alive, I would probably be living the same life as Brother Huan."
Gao Hua was stunned: "Is Huan'er having a good time at your house?"
Jia Cong smiled bitterly and shook his head. He told Jia Huan about his past life for a while, which made Gao Hua stunned! Jia Cong said again: "It's not just the eldest wife who is so ruthless, the younger wife is just as ruthless." He then told Huo Sheng's story.
Finally, he said, "In short, no matter whether it is the eldest wife or the little wife or the unnamed concubine, a woman would like to step on the child born by her man and another woman to death with all her strength. When my sister was going to get married that day, I
This is the reason why I forced my brother-in-law to swear and sign a pledge not to have concubines with him and not to have illegitimate children outside the house."
Gao Hua was stunned for a long time, and he couldn't believe it: "She is a big woman, and even the third child raised a son with another woman, isn't he also her son?"
Jia Cong snorted: "That's a rule, it's superficial, it's fake! Then the second wife is Brother Huan's mother."
Gao Hua said: "That's what she did wrong."
Jia Cong said: "Our eldest wife is very good to me. There is nothing wrong with her, but I have never treated her with filial piety. I never buy anything for her when I go out to buy things, but I have never missed the fact that Dongfu is raising her in our home.
"My fourth sister. It's not that I'm reluctant to part with the money, but I can't remember that she is still in the family. I don't have her bones or her blood. Cousin, there are completely different things between having bones and blood connected and not having bones and blood connected." In fact, he was thinking about Xichun.
It's entirely because they have had a brother-sister relationship since they were young, but now that their family has this relationship with the Gao family, it is necessary to deepen the impression in Gao Hua's heart that "Cousin Cong is extremely flesh and blood" in order to replace his unborn child.
Niece and niece add more weight.
Gao Hua was silent.
Jia Cong continued: "It's not that I don't want to sell my cousin face. My sister is a thoughtful person. If she makes the second cousin unhappy, she will feel uncomfortable. After all, the second cousin is the head of your family.
, you order your second cousin to go and tell my sister that she dare not not go."
Gao Hua smiled bitterly and said, "Listening to what you said, she must be unwilling to do so."
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Nonsense!"
Gao Hua sighed: "If I give birth to a son this time, wouldn't I have to take good care of him to prevent him from being bullied?"
Jia Cong knew from his look that this concubine would be favored, and said: "Since you say that your second cousin is a virtuous person, you probably don't dare to do anything even if you feel unhappy. Just bear with it!"
Gao Hua thought for a moment and sighed again: "The second wife in your house was also said to be virtuous in her early years." He shook his head and turned back.
Jia Cong also hurried to Gaomang Courtyard to tell Yingchun about the matter, and then patted his head: "Brother Huan reminded me, but I didn't think of it at all! Otherwise, I would have asked the imperial doctor to take a look at them yesterday.
When my second cousin brought it up in public, it was a matter of course!"
She didn't want to welcome the spring, so she was already an old lady, so her thoughts naturally turned to the old lady. She frowned and said, "I know that the second wife's Lumei is pregnant. The second sister-in-law often hires a doctor for her on weekdays, so there is no need to involve the imperial concubine."
Doctor? I'm afraid she's taking the opportunity to invite favors."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "It is also my ability to take advantage of the opportunity to invite favors. If my second cousin sister-in-law has the ability, she can also invite me!"
Yingchun looked at him for a long time, shook her head and sighed: "That's it." Then she kept silent.
Jia Cong sat aside for a while and persuaded: "I guess my sister feels aggrieved for the second cousin. What's the use of being aggrieved? Any son born by any woman will be the flesh and blood of the second cousin. As far as the second cousin is concerned,
It’s the same.”
Yingchun shook her head again.
Jia Cong said again: "There is no point in trying to please a man by being virtuous. If the second cousin's family has father, uncles, brothers and nephews who are promising, there is no need to please her. The second cousin will not dare to treat her lightly; if not, he will want to please the second cousin.
, it’s better not to think that you are superior to others because you are the eldest wife. She just does what she wants to do to please her second cousin." After saying that, he made a face and ran away. Yingchun stared behind him.
The next day, Gao Hua's wife Gu Shi came to Jia Yingchun and begged her to ask the imperial doctor to take a look at the pregnant concubine.
Yingchun looked at her and sighed: "Second sister-in-law, you have such a temper..."
Gu sat down dignifiedly and said with a smile: "Although her status is lower, after all, she is our father's child in her belly."
Yingchun thought about it again and again, and decided to tell her brother what she said yesterday. After hesitating for a long time, she swallowed it. "Second sister-in-law is a true and virtuous woman. I will send someone to ask the imperial doctor right away."
Gu quickly thanked her. Seeing the concern on Yingchun's face, she couldn't help but blush. After a while, she shook her hand and said, "How could you be so lucky..."
Yingchun held her hand and said: "Although you have a destiny, you have to rely on your own strength. Rules are unreliable." Gritting his teeth, he actually said what Jia Cong said when he was young, "virtue is useless".
After hearing this, Gu stayed for half a day and said, "Second Master has said many times that the Jia family's cousin is very smart, and he really lives up to his words."
